In the spirit of s/v Space Cowboy, I should probably restate my mind-set and thoughts at the time as "am I hydrated, and is this an alien abduction about to take place."
It was early morning during the 2013 LongPac and Carroll E was only a few miles away from the turnaround. I was making coffee trying to maintain a steady hand in order to keep hot water aimed at the...
Commodore’s note on SSS PHRF policy
Past established policy on PHRF was that all boats were required to have a certificate to race in SSS races. Exceptions were made only for the Three Bridge...
If you can find your boat I'll give you priority registration in next year's TBF race.

Congrats to all who showed up....365 boats!! A short time lapse of the Moore 24 start as seen from the race deck at GGYC (best watched while listening to Korsakov's Flight of the Bumble Bees):...
That was a finish for the memory banks; ghosting along under the full moon with a zephyr through a peaceful Racoon Straight and Ben flashing the spotlight signaling my crossing of the line. Thanks...
I just noticed that the fleet assignments for Class B and C are different on the Jibeset site from those listed in the SI under starting times. Can I assume that the SI govern and that Fleet B...
Definitely panini. I once asked for maple syrup to go with my grits at a diner in Atlanta and was almost tar and feathered right there on the spot. I've since learned to stick with what I know.
Now...
Greetings330,
FYI, I just picked up the 3 required NOAA charts from Marilee at Waypoints who informed me that as of June 1st, 2013 the traffic separation schemes that radiate out from the SF...
PLEASE DISREGARD, I was one thread shy of finding the answer to my own question below. See "Entries & Dates" for Knickspant's posting.
Looking forward to being at the start after a 5 year hiatus. ...
I was just re-reading my log from the 2006 Transpac over the weekend. In it were several anecdotes from Bill who I checked in with at noon each day on the SSB while we were floating around on glass...
Congratulations Bob and all the other finishers! That was a really impressive sail. I hope we can hear some of the details.
Hi Alan,
Like Dan I also built the CLC Pram several years ago and amassed a mess of clamps which I'm happy to loan you if you see the need for them. Fortunately I still have the pram, albeit it's...
'Carroll E' will be there, at least the crew will be, to wish Tom fair seas on his next, solo adventure. His wonderful spirit will be missed and not forgotten in this crew's hearts and memories. If...
Trailer has been sold. Thanks for looking.

Skip,
J and I have had lumps in our throats since hearing of yours and WILDFLOWER's plight. So good to hear you're now safe and amongst friends and family. The synergy of you and WILDFLOWER both...

By the way Bob, looking at the mug shots on the entrants page I've noticed that your "welcome to Hanalei" elixir straw is much longer than mine. Has that got something to do with uncorrected finish...
Thanks Bob, good info..although I'm more of a panini type of guy. I may try and cobble together something from my old Lind adapter. Still not sure about its 20VDC output harming the 18.5 VDC...
Hi Bob,
I can hear RFI coming through the SSB speaker when turning on the inverter and can see its affect when downloading weatherfax. I imagine you would hear any RFI coming through the SSB from...
Thanks John and Bob,
Bob, have you noticed any RFI SSB issues when using the Mikegyver adapter?
Chris
Having switched to Mac I was wondering what other Mac users are using to power their notebooks? I have a Lind 12v power supply for my old PC laptop that worked great and had no RF issues with the...
